I fully stand by my earlier analogy that Icycle plays out in a fashion similar to I Want To Be The Guy, as its dynamic scenery means that you will only ever know about upcoming threats after first witnessing them. Utilizing these the player will have to successfully navigate our naked hero across a diverse range of frozen landscapes, wherein it seems that the worst sort of disasters constantly follow Dennis anywhere he travels. Meanwhile – on the other side of the screen – the jump button now doubles as an open umbrella command, via which Dennis can attempt to glide to safety over all manner of obstacles. On the left-hand side of the screen you have Dennis’s forwards and backwards buttons, with the back peddle ability definitely being a welcome addition to the series’ second entry. On the other hand, far more of you have probably seen Damp Gnat’s other – far more famous – iPhone release: Wonderputt (a miniature golf game that is 100% naked man free).Īnyways – before I tackle the obvious 800 pound Gorilla – I’d like to start off by claiming that Icycle features wonderfully simple and functional controls, which is a must since the game usually feels like a slightly easier version of I Want To Be The Guy. Although you’ve probably never heard of it before, Damp Gnat’s On thin Ice is actually a sequel to their original Icycle (a short – equally bizarre – flash-based platforming adventure).
This in turn leads him on a wild – utterly dangerous – and oddly mesmerizing tricycle ride through the world’s frozen remains, and only his peddling and umbrella skills can keep him alive.Īt least that’s what I could piece together based on the developer’s website for Icycle: On Thin Ice ( out now, $0.99), a game where you control an utterly naked man – riding a tiny little tricycle – across various frozen wastelands. It doesn’t seem – however – that anything is ever allowed to go poor Dennis’s way, for his new imaginary girlfriend’s head promptly falls of the moment he attempts to kiss her. In the distant future – long after an icy apocalypse has frozen everything solid – one man, tired of being utterly alone, has just constructed a snow woman in order to keep himself company.
